Overview
Since its debut, the V/H/S franchise has carved a loyal niche among found-footage enthusiasts. Across eight films, it’s delivered plenty of shaky-cam nightmares, clever twists, and cult-level creativity. V/H/S: Halloween continues that tradition with six standalone stories — all Halloween-themed and tied together by a central narrative thread, Diet Phantasma.

The Stories

1. Coochie Coochie Coo – Twisted, weird, and one of the strongest shorts in the lineup.
2. Ut Supra Sic Infra – Occult overtones and atmosphere done right.
3. Fun Size – Creative concept and solid pacing — another standout.
4. Kidprint – Easily the weakest of the bunch; uncomfortable subject matter and uneven execution.
5. Home Haunt – Classic haunted-house chaos with a fresh spin.
6. Diet Phantasma – The connective tissue of the anthology; decent payoff with a stylish ending.

What Works

• Creative Variety: Each short feels distinct while still belonging to the same universe.
• Halloween Atmosphere: From candy to costumes, this entry leans into the season.
• Solid Gore & Practical FX: True to the franchise, there’s plenty of blood and intensity.
• Strong Segments: Coochie Coochie Coo and Fun Size stand out as instant fan favorites.

What Doesn’t

• Inconsistent Quality: A few shorts miss the mark (Kidprint especially).
• Heavy Gore & Disturbing Themes: The content won’t be for everyone — expect graphic violence and disturbing imagery involving minors in one segment.

Final Verdict

Overall, V/H/S: Halloween delivers exactly what fans want: wild creativity, practical gore, and a Halloween-ready atmosphere that makes it perfect for a late-night scare session. Despite one or two duds, this is one of the stronger entries since V/H/S 94.

⭐ Score: 8.25 / 10
🎃 Best For: Found-footage fans looking for over-the-top, Halloween-themed horror.
🚫 Not For: Viewers sensitive to gore or darker subject matter.
